It is that time of the year. Fall portrait season is almost here. Book early to ensure you have a spot. It rains so make sure you have time to make up any outdoor session.

Fall is by far the most popular portrait season. Here is a link to help you with picking the perfect location, time of day and clothes to wear. If you have any question please feel free to contact myself.

I don’t charge for designing holiday cards with any portrait session. All you pay for is the printing cost.

I spent a day at Assateague Island and Ocean City, Maryland taking candid family photographs. Here are a few from the trip. Candid photography is a great way to remember a trip or moment. They capture raw emotion verses a posed look. Hope you enjoy these images. It was a great time and I even got a chance to fish in the ocean. Thanks to all who were involved.
